Optimizing Strategies in Patients Affected by Tumors Infiltrating the Skull: A Single Center Experience
Background: One-step cranioplasty combined with tumor removal is a recognized approach in neuro-oncology for patients with neoplastic skull invasion.The use of advanced technologies, including Mixed Reality (MR), has introduced new possibilities in surgical workflows.MR technology may provide additional benefits in preoperative planning, patient en
A scoping review of global vaccine certificate solutions for COVID-19
Globally, measures, such as lockdown, quarantining, and Tray physical distancing, have been implemented to curb the spread of COVID-19.As the vaccines are now available and reintegration into society is beginning, measures such as vaccine certificates are being implemented around the world.We conducted a scoping review to identify the initial digit
A non-unified viscoplastic constitutive model based on irreversible thermodynamics and creep-fatigue life prediction for Type 316 stainless
In this work, to describe the cycle behavior considering fatigue-creep interaction, a non-unified viscoplastic constitutive model for 316 stainless steel is derived within the irreversible thermodynamic framework.The internal variables considering kinematic and isotropic hardening properties are selected to construct the evolution equation of visco
